Plymouth vs Charlton

[Bobbin']

Going to be a tough test this one, Plymouth's first home game back in this league and will want to get themselves on the right track after a poor start to the season.

I think we're good enough to win here though, last Saturday showed some real balls from the players which have been lacking for several years and my concerns about squad depth have been relieved a little after how well our youngsters performed at Exeter. Robinson says Magennis will probably miss another week but no fresh injury concerns.

If we play the type of football we have in the first 2 games then there is no reason why we can't take maximum points.

Always tricky going to a newly promoted side though so will take a point I think and then concentrate on getting another home win next week.

Plymouth 1-1 Charlton.

I think we'd take a draw to be honest shall we just agree on it now and not bother risking injuries?

Struggling for forward options, in fact struggling is being generous, with our only recognised first team striker (Ryan Taylor) breaking his ankle putting him out for about 3 months

 

[Bobbin']

Not likely to bring someone in before Saturday?

 

[Rob_of_the_green]

Your guess is a good as mine, he's been trying for about a month though so...

Well it looks like Tony Watt is on his way out the club, again.

So I expect Clarke to be pushed up top with Reeves coming into the side.

My word, we desperately need to bring a striker in.

Yes you do if you relying on Clarke up front.

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Going for a surprise 1-0 home win. Time to get the season under way. COYG

Magennis injured, Novak suspended.

We've got youngster Karlan Ahearne-Grant and that's it but I expect him to move Clarke forward but you're right, he's not a striker.

 

[Bobbin']

Magennis starts!

Big plus for us, that.

I think we were probably the better team overall. Punished for missed chances. That's life.

You had 2 good chances first half and should of took at least one but a brilliant save and a great header kept it at 0-0. Second half you were pretty but not effective and ran out of ideas. We pressed hard second half and moved 10 yards up the pitch.

We're a side who know how to win football matches and it showed today. Out classed in terms of passing but with some spirit and fight we got something. You'll be up there though.

We desperately need a striker, Blissett was poor today. Hopefully get one in during the week.

Don't argue with any of that.

Going to be a tough side to beat at Home Park.

Both in the radio and what you say it sounds like most of our games last year, especially away. We are not a side to dominate too often, but Adams knows how to grind out results. Absolutely agree about needing a striker, but may be a few weeks before we get one. That said our goals don't usually come too much from number 9 other than when we had Rubuen.
